When he saw the turtle on the tray, Wei Yang couldn't help but widen his eyes with curiosity on his face.
He has seen all kinds of turtles, but this is the first time for him to see this kind of golden turtle.
Is this alive?
Isn't it made of gold?
Just guessing.
The turtle in the tray stretched its head out, looking left and right, vividly alive.
This turtle's shell is not only golden, but its body is also golden. There is no other color in the whole body.
Moreover, it is a living creature!
Seeing this thing, Pulsatilla and Taoist Yunshan couldn't help but widen their eyes with surprise.
Huang Shaoyan said proudly: "Mr. Jiang, Immortal Master Yunshan, what do you think of this golden turtle?"
After looking at it for a few times, the white-headed man looked at Huang Shaoyan: "Where did you get this thing?"
Huang Shaoyan said: "It seems to be luck. I was invited to visit a villa some time ago. On a whim, I went to the surrounding woods."
"It turned out that I met a child in the forest. He was holding a golden turtle in his hand and said he caught it from the pond.
After checking, I determined that it was not artificially made, so I spent 10,000 yuan to buy it from the child.
"Ten thousand? You are so shameless, bullying a child!" the white-headed man said angrily.
Huang Shaoyan shook his head: "Mr. Jiang, what you said is wrong.
What do children in the mountains know?
No matter how valuable this golden turtle is, in their eyes, it is at best a curiosity and will either be played to death by them or eaten by them.
Even if you meet someone who knows the goods, you will be coaxed away for only three to five hundred yuan.
If I pay 10,000 yuan, I really have a conscience."
The white-headed man was immediately speechless.
This is true.
Not to mention ordinary people, if it were him, a thousand yuan would be a fortune.
"Mr. Jiang, let's not talk about this. Do you know what kind this thing is?" Huang Shaoyan asked expectantly.
The white-headed man shook his head: "I have never seen it before, but it has a weak spirituality on it. It is not an ordinary turtle species."
"It's definitely extraordinary. I tested it before I came here. The gold on this body is real gold, just like the scarab beetle that can extract gold from its body. It's very magical."
"Do you know where the pool is?"
"I know. I even sent people to salvage it. It's also strange. The pool is very shallow, only four or five meters deep. Except for some small fish and shrimps, there is nothing strange."
"So, this is unique?"
"Of course, this is the first time I have seen such a magical golden turtle in my life."
Just when Huang Shaoyan was arrogant.
Wei Yang suddenly said: "What about the kid who sold you the golden turtle? Have you investigated it?"
Um?
Hearing this, Huang Shaoyan looked at Wei Yang with a puzzled look on his face: "Why are you investigating that child?"
Wei Yang smiled and said: "Is the villa in the mountains?"
"Yes, there is a specially built road in Yuelu Mountain, which is seventy or eighty miles deep. It is the real Zhuangzi in the mountain. If not, I would not be interested in going to see it."
"Seventy or eighty miles into the mountains, is there still a village?"
Huang Shaoyan was stunned. After a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said with a painful look on his face: "I have such a stupid brain, why didn't I think of that!"
The white-headed man looked at Wei Yang in astonishment: "What does fellow Taoist mean by this?"
Wei Yang said: "I think this golden tortoise is actually the child. It's probably not simple. If it's not an evil spirit, it's a spiritual thing taking form."
As soon as these words came out, the breathing of Pulsatilla and Taoist Yunshan became rapid.
When something with spirit takes form, isn't it talking about elixirs like ginseng and polygonum multiflorum?
There is such a magical creature in Yuelu Mountain!
"Spiritual things take form? So, I missed the real destiny and brought back a sesame instead?" The look of regret on Huang Shaoyan's face became even stronger.
"Oh, you would think, what if that child is evil? Now that you are afraid of being exposed, how can you get a golden turtle!" the white-headed man retorted angrily.
Huang Shaoyan fell silent immediately.
After thinking about it, he also breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Yeah, I didn't think it at the time. If it was really dangerous, it would be terrible. Hey, it seems that all the Taoist scriptures I have read over the years have been in vain. I have no Taoist thoughts.
None of them have been cultivated.”
After saying that, Huang Shaoyan looked at Wei Yang and said with a smile: "Hello, Immortal Master, my name is Huang Shaoyan. It's an honor to meet you."
Wei Yang smiled: "You're welcome, Mr. Huang."
"Master Immortal is being polite. Just ask me to speak less."
Wei Yang laughed dumbly.
This shameless look shows that he is a business person.
"Master Immortal, what do you think of this golden turtle?" Huang Shaoyan continued to ask, with an expectant look on his face.
Wei Yang shook his head: "This thing is a strange thing, but spirituality is just that, there is nothing special. If you really want to cultivate it, you can spend hundreds of years, and maybe you can cultivate it."
Just now, he used his spiritual eye technique to look at it carefully.
I found that although the golden turtle is strange, it is not very spiritual and has no special aura about it.
Obviously, that's all.
Huang Shaoyan suddenly felt disappointed.
Over the years, he has collected many rare objects from all over the place, but few of them are good. When he got the golden tortoise this time, he thought he had picked up a building, but his expectations were too high.
Hundreds of years? I'm afraid the ashes don't exist anymore.
"Actually, it's not useless." At this time, Taoist Yunshan suddenly said.
Huang Shaoyan looked over in surprise.
"How do you say it?" Pulsatilla also asked curiously.
Taoist Yunshan said: "This is a spiritual turtle after all, and it is full of golden energy, which has extraordinary meanings. If it is used as a spiritual object in a Feng Shui array, it will be excellent."
Huang Shaoyan was overjoyed: "Yes, I have thought of this too. Now that Immortal Master Yunshan says so, it is a rare spiritual creature for me, hahahaha..."
The white-headed man smiled and said: "Congratulations, you have another treasure in the collection."
Huang Shaoyan said: "I'd like to lend you some kind words."
"By the way, it's rare for these two immortal masters to get together. Are you interested in trading?" Huang Shaoyan suddenly asked.
The eyes of Pulsatilla and Taoist Yunshan moved slightly, and they looked at Wei Yang at the same time.
Wei Yang smiled and said, "What's the deal?"
The white-headed man said: "My Taoist friends have just come down from the mountain and don't understand that in this worldly world, we practitioners also need to exchange what we have and what we don't have, and each takes what we need. So there are often small gatherings or black market transactions."
"The recognized currency for this transaction is Lingzhu, which is a bead bred in Lingyu. It contains spiritual wisdom, is beneficial to practice, and has other magical uses. Therefore, even in foreign countries, Lingzhu is regarded as a currency for mutual exchange."
"As for the items being traded, they are naturally diverse and include everything."
Wei Yang suddenly realized: "There is such a thing, that's quite interesting."
"In this case, let's open a small trading place and see if there is anything the other party needs. If fellow Taoists like it, we can also trade, buy spiritual beads, or barter."
"Okay." Wei Yang replied with a smile.
Huang Shaoyan was a little excited and said quickly: "I have been waiting for this opportunity. Please wait a moment, I will get something over."
After saying that, Huang Shaoyan put it aside.
Not long after, Huang Shaoyan came over again and brought a box.
"You guys have been waiting for a long time. You have been waiting for a long time."
After saying that, Huang Shaoyan sat down, and there happened to be four people, each occupying a direction.
Huang Shaoyan hurriedly said: "You are all experts, but I am a commoner, so I will start by throwing some bricks and linings up."
After speaking, he opened the box, took out three things and placed them on the table.
"Three experts, please take a look."
After saying that, Huang Shaoyan waited with a smile.
The white-headed man glanced at the three items and immediately smiled and said: "Why are you so enthusiastic? There are really good things in love."
"That is, after so many years of traveling here and there and all the hard work, how can you dare to negotiate business with an expert when you don't have a few possessions at the bottom of the box?" Huang Shaoyan replied proudly.
Wei Yang is also looking at three things.
These three things include a one-foot-tall wooden sculpture of Guan Gong, wearing a green robe and holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which looks majestic.
The second one is an exquisitely carved mahogany sword. It looks a bit old, but it has been well maintained and is shiny.
The third one was a broken knife. The blade was only less than half a foot long, but the broken knife was gleaming with cold light. It was very sharp at first glance. I didn’t know what kind of weapon it was, so I cut it off.
From the outside, Wei Yang couldn't see anything, so he decisively activated the spiritual eye technique.
In an instant, the abnormal conditions on the three items were clearly visible.
